International Transport.

Railways
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To Beijing
  1. There is only one pre-bookable train to Beijing which leaves early Thursday mornings.
  2. The Sunday Beijing train from Moscow stops in UB and you can board if there is a berth.
Cost - T 66.000 for four berth and T 110,000 for double berth.

From Beijing
  1. To pre-book, you need to go to the Beijing International Hotel's International Ticket office. It is on the second floor (Mongolian). The hotel is up the road opposite the railway station on the right hand side of the road. Very white and a very nice Hotel too.
  2. It is definitely worth spending the extra and taking a double berth. Four berth are very cramped.
Cost - RMB 1,000 for double berth.
